Jenner opens up about the "intense" and "mean" scrutiny on her family and what sets her apart from her sisters, before being asked about Bad Bunny romance in a new interview.
Kendall Jenner may be from one of Hollywood's most famous families, but she's always felt like a bit of an outsider.
Speaking with The Wall Street Journal for a new profile, the model-turned-reality TV star opened up about why felt a disconnect between how she and her superstar sisters handled being in the public eye. It's worth noting that while her older siblings Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian sought out the spotlight with Keeping Up with the Kardashians, she was just 12 when the reality show rocketed the family to fame back in 2007.
"I obviously understand I fall under the umbrella of the Kardashian sisters. It's just weird to me ... because I am just like my dad in so many ways. I'm such a Jenner, in my opinion," she told the outlet, calling herself a "daddy's girl."
"Since I was really young, I felt out of place in my family. I was born into this life, but I didn't choose this life," she added.

She added, "From the time she was a little girl, she has seemed really definite in who she is and how she wants to do it."
Jenner, 27, said that she's "not built" for the fame game and feels she's "not good at it." That being said, she added she's "learned how to do it."
"[Kim's] like, 'I used to go to Kitson on Robertson just to get photographed," added Kendall, referring to a once-paparazzi-heavy store in Los Angeles. "I think she was built for it ... It took me [almost] 20 years to be like, 'OK, I guess I'm getting used to it now and it's fine and I get it."
While she didn't want to make it seem like she was coming across as saying "Poor me" in regards to the attention her family generates, she said she does believe "people are more mean to my family in general." She added, "They take everything and make it a bad thing."
What Bad Bunny Said When Asked About Kendall Jenner Relationship by Rolling Stone
View StoryCurrently making headlines thanks to her recent romance with Bad Bunny, Jenner also told the outlet "no comment" when asked about their relationship.
"I try [to] find the balance of keeping things private and keeping things sacred, [and] also not letting the unfortunate frustration and stress of everyone trying to get in on it stop me from enjoying my side," she added. "Does that make sense? I'll go out of my way to do things as privately as possible because I just think that that's the healthier way of dealing with relationships anyway."
